Nokia might be slightly overreaching with their prediction, only because WiFi is still so scorching hot that the consumer market may be preoccupied with connecting at hotspots or their citywide network. Nevertheless, Bluetooth has become virtually a ubiquitous technology, and it has become pretty much a standard in most new cellphones anyway.

Nokia Says Bluetooth-Enabled Cellphone Sales to Rise in '06
With the release of three new Bluetooth-enabled handsets--the BH-800, the BH-900, and the BH-200--Nokia is predicting that the Bluetooth mobile phone market will rise a whopping
65% this year. Of course, they would surely love to get the lion's share of that number. It is
expected that roughly 220 million Bluetooth handsets will be sold this year, up from 133 million in 2005.
